##£#§*^~.¨ would remember drinking (which is also ¨.~^*§#£##
##£#§*^~.¨ made harder by the attention focusing ¨.~^*§#£##
###§^~~¨¨¨ properties of the honey). ¨¨¨~~^§###
###£§*^~.¨ ¨.~^*§£###
##£#§*^~.¨ people are known to suffer injuries ¨.~^*§#£##
##£#§*^~.¨ from being still in unfavourable ¨.~^*§#£##
##£#§*^~.¨ climates for too long, sometimes to the ¨.~^*§#£##
#§^.¨¨¨¨¨¨ point of death. another danger is ¨¨¨¨¨¨.^§#
###§^.¨¨¨¨ actually locomotion of the body... ¨¨¨¨.^§###
#*~~~~¨¨¨¨ walking around is still somewhat ¨¨¨¨~~~~*#
£££#§*^~.¨ possible after losing sight, which have ¨.~^*§#£££
##£#§*^~.¨ lead to seveal falls. additionally, ¨.~^*§#£##
##£#§*^~.¨ robberies of the intoxicated are common. ¨.~^*§#£##
#§^.¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨.^§#
##£#§*^~.¨ lastly, albeit very rare, it's possible ¨.~^*§#£##
####§*^~.¨ to die of pure overdose (on the scale ¨.~^*§####
#£#**~.¨¨¨ of jars of honey) before being killed ¨¨¨.~**#£#
##£#§*^~.¨ by thirst. there are rumors that this ¨.~^*§#£##
£§§§§*^~.¨ leaves "ghosts", who will still share ¨.~^*§§§§£
